Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
A time-based approach for the social spatialization strategies in retail design
Full text linkIn the context of the developing Smart City, media revolution has changed user’s behavior in the allocation of time and space, their perception turns to hybrid in real and virtual space. Digital technology changed their shopping activities and experiences in personal and social environments. As retail activities become more accessible at any time and location, and as omni-channel retailing disrupts retail stores\u27 monopoly on shopping activities, brick-and-mortar retailers face to the threat of online shopping and must transform in this context. Within the theory of urbanism, the concept of chrono-urbanism is proposed as a critical step to question in depth people’s lifestyles, production and consumption, to be aware of the existing dissociation between space and time. From the perspective of sociology and design disciplines, a time-based approach proposes a response to this phenomenon, where interior design could no longer be the same as before, because the fluidity of time would have reshaped the space. So, due to the intervention of time which conduct a dynamic form of spaces, how will time and digital tools intervene in the customization of shapes, dimensions and possible interactions? When referring to the user\u27s activities and experiences, how will the interactive dimension be able to manage retail spaces in an adaptive way according to the demands of an increasingly diversified society? And how to develop a framework and chronotopes to coordinate retail space design for measuring the performance of social and shopping activities? This research seeks to investigate the interplay between digitalization, social activities, and user experience in the design of retail spaces, through an interdisciplinary perspective focused on time-based design. To achieve this objective, the research employs a two-phase approach. The first phase involves an exploratory study, which incorporates interpretive research of existing literature, structured expert interviews, and the development of grounded theory. The second phase involves an experimental study that tests the developed design approaches and culminates in synthesizing the findings and a conclusion. This research aims to develop a time-based approach and chronotopes as design tools that can support the design process of future retail spaces. The early finding shows that digital technology in retail space design has changed how people interact with physical spaces and each other. The relationship between physical and digital places is primarily a time-based relationship that alters the form of spaces resulting from this chrono-spatiality approach. The time paradigm introduces key performance indicators (KPIs) that are measurable, customizable, logistically efficient, and energy-saving. Smart devices have been mainly used to protect and build a cocoon, connect to a network of digital belonging, and share information and traces of movements and lives. Retailers are redefining the value of physical retail spaces by blending experiences, communications, and interactions with consumers to build connections and communities both online and offline. It can be determined that time-based design has a positive impact on the field of spatial deformation and human-centered enhancement of people\u27s quality of life
